The Year is 2012 and everything is as it should be in the real world..... On the outside, but behind the scenes visible to the eyes of the public, the government hid away a spreading infection that they themselves created. In 2000 a Corporation controlled by a government group of outcasts started to try and produce a biological weapon, that went too well for them to control. the end result were supersoldiers that infected others through a chemical released from their fangs. These creations were nicknamed "Vamps"

As the infection was not always stablised some rare cases went on to only feeding on their own kinds blood, which caused their genes to mutate, which directly also affected their appearances dramatically.

Some Vamps remained loyal, some went underground and plot to destroy the Corp from the top to bottom. Whereas the mutated only have one thing in mind, that sweet vamp blood.

All thats for sure is that the future...... Is soon to be decided for all the vamps and the Corp.

Pheonix awoke in what could only be described as a cell of light, everything was made of glass with lights behind it. Obviously got used to me hiding things in the corners for when I need them. He grinned to himslef as he rubbed the back of his neck with a firm sigh of relief as the tightness in his muscles washed away from the drug they must have tainted him with. Damn them for know my weakness of noodles.... I really need to stop going to the same places to buy it too. He pushed himself off the bed and look at the thick reinforced glass door with God only knows how many electronically controlled switches. Resting aginsted the wall with his shoulder he reached into his pocket and smiled, "At least they were kind enough to leave me these". He pulled out a pack of ciggerettes and placed one in his mouth. He russled around for the lighter and brought it up to the end of the ciggerette as he watch the slowly released gas catch alight from the sparks flying towards it.

He inhaled and the exhaled slowly, watching the cloud of smoke slowly dissapate into the air as he waited for something to actually happen in this what must have been eight by eight cell.

It was just another long day at the lab and Sear was dead tired, thankfully her place wasn't too far from the lab. For some reason the Corp like to keep their employees close by even one of her co-workers was her next door neighbor. Sera pulled up into the drive way and was glad to she her two story townhouse. Today had been awful, there was a bomb threat again by some activist group and then one of the interns accidentally mixed the wrong chemicals which caused the whole lab to smell like feet for two hours. "I'm glad I don't have to train interns like Jenna. I think I would go mentally insane from it." She said to no one in particular as she unlocked the door.

"Just getting in Sera?" Zach said from right behind Sera not realizing that he may just be coming off a tad bit creepy seeing how he just walked up to her without saying anything first.

Sear jumped and dropped everything she had been holding. She spun around ready to kick Zach in the crotch when she realized who it was. "Zach what is wrong with you?! Can't you say hello like a normal person! I almost kicked you where the sun doesn't shine. Ugh." Sera glared at Zach for a second before going to pick up her things. Zach worked in the part of lab that she wasn't cleared for. What he did actually she had no clue and he wouldn't say either. Something about confidential matters.

"Sorry didn't mean to scare you. Saw your car and I thought I should come over. Who this group is they are targeting Corp employees now. Just trying to be a good neighbor." Zach was doing more than that. Sera was being considered for a position on the team of scientist that dealt with the Vamps. He needed to make sure she stayed safe.

Pheonix dropped the butt of the finished ciggerette onto the floor and crushed it with his foot to extinguish the last ember before realising that they had not removed any of his weapons. "Huh, must have been in a rish to throw me in here..... Oh well, their loss". He laughed a bit before he realised he was no longer alone. A scientist stood at the glass door looking in. He was a rather young man, must have just been selected out of education or something.

"Can I help you with something, or just admiring the ceature that will tear your business to the ground". With his last word he smacked the glass door with his hand, showing the claws for nails he had to scare the young lad. The scientist jumped back and tried to compose himself.
"You've been brought here for termination, I'm the one who will be tearing your world down" The scientist smiled, almost trying to mock Pheonix as he opened the door with an obvious syringe in his hand.

Pheonix laughed and looked at him, "Good look trying to get close enough to use that little thing on me. If you take one step inside this room I swear to God that syringe will be emptied into your jugular vein".

Good neighbor? Zach lived five blocks from her. Whatever I'm tired and I want to go to bed. "Wel thank you but I'm really tired and I'm not in the entertaining guest mood so see you tomorrow Zach." With that Sera went inside and quickly closed the door. She didn't want to give Zach a single moment to reply or try to invite himself in. Whatever the reason he was here she didn't want a part of it.

"So close." He whispered as his cell rang. Of course it was corp, who else ever called him? Zach answered with a sigh as he made his way to his car only to freeze. They had charge a new hire with an extermination. And not just any extermination, it was him. "Were they out of their mind when they assigned him to that subject!!! He needs to be handled by someone with more experience. I'm heading back to the office right now!" Zach got in his car and raced back to the office. It was 2 in the morning so all the scientist were gone and the place was littered with guards. Zach flashed them his badge as he headed to the lower levels before the new hire messed everything up. "Damn it I hope I make it in time."

Pheonix watched as the scientist walked into the cell trying to not look scared, but fear was a smell that Pheonix could pick up on even through the scope of a sniper rifle. He was sweating and slowly entering a footstep at a time before Pheonix raised his hand signalling him to hault to which he briefly paused. "Gotta' hand it to you kid, you got brass.... Lot's of it, but do you really think you are prepared to take a Vamp on hand-to-hand?".

The scientist looked puzzled at the question, but before he could even comment on anythinghe felt a prick feeling in his neck. He looked at his hand to find it empty and then looked up with a shocked face to see that Pheonix was no longer in front of him, but behind him with the empty syringe, "W....Why.....?"

Pheonix looked at the back of the young lad as he fell to one knee, "I'm sorry, but you intended it for me... and I did give you a chance to reconsider. If it was not you as you are it would be me... And my survival instincts are far to active to let that happen".

Pheonix left the cell once the scientist had let out his last breath and closed the door behind him, while also setting the lights to off to save him a little time from any possible pursuers before disappearing down a corridor across from his cell.

Zach wasn't fast enough apparently because by the time he reached the cell all that was left was a dead scientist and no subject."You have to be freaking kidding me!" Zach grabbed his walkie and radioed every single guard on the premises. He sent out a shoot to kill order and told the guards to pair off and to not approach the subject alone. Zach knew all to well what Will could do and intended on taking him out before he reached the upper levels. " That subject is not getting out of here alive. Not on my watch." Zach ran off to meet up with some guards but not before loading himself with the appropriate gear. He wasn't about to let Will get the drop on him.

Meanwhile Sera was back on her way to the lab since she forgot to bring her report home with her. Sera pulled up to the lab to find the place in utter chaos. Something told her she might want to turn back but Sera knew what would happen if that report wasn't done by morning then she could kiss her butt goodbye. Sera exhaled before she got out of the car and was immediately stopped by a guard. She flashed him her badge and the guard knew she wasn't cleared to know what was really going on. So the guard lied and told her they were just doing a drill and that he would escort her to where she needed to go. Sera didn't believe him but she had no choice. He had a gun and all she had was a snicker bar in her back pocket.

Pheonix walked through the corridor, collar up and head down, keeping to any shadows that were possible to keep in. He pulled out his Desert Eagle and loaded a round into the chamber. If anything decided to take him on he was sure a few Armour Peircing rounds would do the trick. Pheonix looked around to find himself in a large lab after following the corridor, which contained a large screen and server to what he believed would be the main server. "Huh, might as well make them hate me that little bit more". He ran to the server, jumping over a railing inbetween them on the way.

He accessed the server and came to an encrypted password lock, "Damn, this just made my job a little longer". He hacked the server's mainframe and implanted a virus onto the password. Just like that the server responded, "Access Granted". Pheonix smiled and continued on his business, finding information on his process, the scientist's information and involvement and hopefully future projects. "Ha! Jackpot. Hope you like fresh starts boys". He loaded the information onto a external harddrive and placed it in his coat before erasing it from the mainframe. "Right, now it's time to get out of here".

Zach was busy hunting Phoenix while Sera was busy making her way to the lab, unknowing of the chaos going on down below. By the time she and the guard made it the damage had already been done thanks to a certain subject but Sera didn’t know it yet. Not until… “Okay what’s going on here?! All my files, any files for that matter are gone! How?” Sera wanted to cry, all her hard work was gone and even the backup was gone as well. Everything she and the company had created to better mankind was gone. They would have to start from square one. This realization didn’t have time to settle in because the guard was urging her to leave immediately. Was she really holding him from his precious drill that bad? “Look I know you need to get back but our files have been wiped out. There is no way that could have happened unless…”
“Look miss I need to get you out of this building right now. So you can leave on your own or leave in cuffs. It’s your choice miss.” The guard was dead serious since he just got radioed that the subject was indeed on the move.

“I can leave on my own.” With that Sera followed the guard reluctantly down the corridor.

Pheonix heard footsteps coming from an unknown direction of the corridor approach him, slowly getting louder with every step. Another pair join it going at the same pace, but slightly behind the first. He readied his gun and kept it to his side as he drifted into the shadow of an open room with the lights off. His breathing slowed down and his heartbeat minimised to blend in the the darkness that was the room. His kind had been designed to do this, blend in and go unnoticed until the target was confirmed, only then would they be noticed and even then most of the people that did notice them didn't live on to tell the tale. "Convert Missionary" they were first called before "Vamps", but hey, with the way they killed it was only a matter of time till it stuck.

Pheonix kept his eyes on the corridor through the open door, watching through his hair. His gun was hanging silently and movementless to his side, while his finger remained on the trigger, ready to double tap at the need. He focused on what he needed to do, everything that he had managed to achieve in the short space of time he had..... retrieve and destroy the majority of the files that the Corp had on the process.

Unknown to Sera she and the guard were heading down the exact corridor that the escaped subject was in. “Am I going to get in trouble for not having my report done seeing how all our files have been mysteriously wiped out? Because I worked really hard to get a job here and…”

“Ma’am I’m going to need you to be quite alright. I need to get you out of the building right now and I can’t think with you prattling on about some files. You will not lose your job over something that was out of your hands. Now shut your trap and move faster.” The guard shot Sera a death stare that she couldn’t even see thanks to the head gear but he was sure she understood what he was doing anyway.

Sera was aghast at the brash behavior of the guard. It was like she wasn’t the least bit important at all. Sera went to tell the guard off but when he stared back at her she knew he was giving her a death stare and she closed her mouth. There wasn’t any point in arguing with the guard he wouldn’t listen anyway so why bother. Plus the man was armed like crazy. With an aggravated sigh Sera continued to follow the guard who was beginning to act a bit strange. Like he could sense that someone besides the two of them was in the corridor. “Um is everything okay?” Sera said as the panic started to creep up. Could those activist people be in the building?

Phoenix smiled as they started to argue, Thanks for the information I couldn't make out from your footsteps. One armed male and a limited female civilian that doesn't know. He slowly paced back into the darkness and moved to behind a filing cabinet that was taller than him that went all the way up to the roof of the office he was in.

The room was set out like any normal office, Deck at the back center with a desktop computer set up on it with all of the office equipment scattered around as it should be. laughed and thought a bit of fun was in order on the way out. He tapped the butt of his gun against the metal filing cabinet creating an echoing metallic clash through the vicinity of the office. He rolled back against the filing cabinet, staying out of sight from the door.
Time to see what the guards here are made of, he thought to himself as he smirked with the intent to test the survival instincts of the guards.

“What did I say about talkin….” The guard was cut off by a sudden bang from the office right up a head. Like a true solider the guard got into attack formation and stood directly in front of Sera. He needed to make sure the young scientist got out without a scratch on her or it would be his ass. “Stay here while I check things out and don’t move. Don’t say a word.” He handed her the standard gun they were all issued but never used and left the safety on. Last thing he needed was a jittery scientist shooting up the place. He pointed to the safety and instructed her on how to switch it off and when to use it. After he was sure she wasn’t going to shoot herself he entered the room silently while flipping his helmet to night mode all the while sending a radio signal for the other guards to follow.

“Do you honestly think you’re getting out of here freak?” The guard whispered as he cautiously scanned the room, looking for any movement at all.

Phoenix's smirk never faded as he listened to instructions on safety control. Using a civillian as a back-up plan?... Low life. He holstered his gun and pulled out a single katana silently, so it was pointing down the seem of his jeans. He listened to the slow and steady paces that the guard was taking and waited until he was just in front of the filing cabinet before running out of the shadows at the guard to impale his left shoulder, lift him off the ground and pinning him to the wall of the office.

Phoenix smacked the gun out of the guard's hand and looked at him, "Call me a freak again and I'll slice your throat, especially when it was you lot that made me this way. That's why I am going to destroy this place and anyone connected to the process". He stepped back and looked at him suspended from the katana off the floor, "Do you even know what you're protecting?".

Before the guard could even blink a sharp pain was felt and the next thing he knew he was pinned to the wall with his feet lifted from the ground. The subject had gotten the jump on him and even managed to disarm him. But it didn’t matter back up would be here soon anyway. All he had to do was keep the freak talking till then. “I know very well what I am protecting freak and I couldn’t care less. I get paid more than you can imagine and frankly putting freaks like you down is a boat load of fun. You might have me pinned to this wall but I promise you aint leaving this….”

“Is everything okay?!” Sera asked as she slowly entered the dark room. Usually she isn’t one to act before thinking but something was telling her the guard needed her help, plus she wanted to show the jerk she did in fact know how to handle a gun. Probably even better than him. “Um I can’t see so I’m going to need you to call out or something?” Sera knew she heard another voice but she wasn’t going to allow herself to focus on that right now. If the person got to close he would regret it.
